Abel Lobatón was for several years one of the figures of our varied Peruvian soccer. The former player of University of Sports, Sport Boys and Cienciano, who also went through the Peruvian selection, It’s been a while since he retired and this time he reappeared to talk about it all a bit in an entertaining interview with the Trome newspaper. The popular “Bat”, who was also champion of the South American Cup with Scientist in 2003, he talked about his taste for whiskey, the so-called “gallant killer portfolio” and that he was about to get married for the third time. In addition, he also tells an anecdote with the deceased Kukín Flowers.
Abel Lobatón is consulted on the fame and the money, to which the ex- soccer player responds: At first it helps, then it gets in the way and in the end it bothers me. We do what we want, they pay us for it, but we can’t spend the money like everyone else. With them it is fulfilled that ‘wallet kills gallantly’.
The former striker also explains how the “Bat” badge came about. “I played Lawn Tennis and we concentrated on ‘Maria Angola’ … I stopped at the hotel door late and Professor Carlos Daniel Jurat said he went out at night like bats,” count the scorer.

He discovered whiskey at 30
When asked if he reached the concentrations with tuff, the “Bat” is forceful: I never drank, recently at 30 I tried whiskey and I liked it.
Finally, among other curiosities, Abel Lobatón tells an anecdote of the dead Kukín Flowers. We played Inti Gas, Edgar Ospina was the coach and we trained at ‘Cultural Lima’. The teacher had told the club president that he did not want Carles. That day I put it into practice. He was thinking and I was saying to him, ‘Please calm talk, don’t make a fuss’. He replied, ‘Yes Abelito, you are right.’ He got out of the car, saw Ospina, and punched him.
